Ordered Teraflex Delta BBK

[Jeepula]

I've had mine for almost a year, and I love it. I switched to it not long after I switched to 37s, and I didn't like that the stock system couldn't keep up. A few times in traffic, I've had to hit the brakes hard, and the Jeep will nosedive from the braking power. My one complaint is the pads they give you squeak for MONTHS!

thanks for the feedback, have you tried to switch to different pads on the market?

Not yet, but one of the Teraflex guys said he's had good luck with 2017 Tundra pads from EBC, Powerstop, and Bosch.

Curious if you are a light braker? By that I mean do you coast to a stop with light brake pressure? I find if you do that a glase will developed on the pads and they will become squeaky. This goes for most pads. I am just the opposite and I've never heard a peep from the brakes.

You might lean on them a little harder and see if that helps. It will take some time to remove the glase so be patient.

I am a light braker. I like to coast into a stop instead of Dale Earnhardt it. So, I bet I did glaze the pads a bit, although the guy at Teraflex said the pads they put in the kits are known to be squeaky. So, maybe a little of both? They've been good pads, but the first month or two was brutal!

I do the NASCAR brake bedding process: multiple high speed stops until you can smell them. Then don't stop until they cool down.

I installed Delta BBK about 500 miles ago and I have ONE that squeals. The drivers rear. You mean to tell me that I have to put up with this for 2 months.

But it does go away, right?

I took the whole thing apart and put WAAAY more than necessary anti squeal and it stopped the squealing for about 3 miles....until the brakes heated up.

You might try pulling that pad, sanding the pad and rotor with some 220 grit to remove glaze, then doing the bedding process again. The "get on those brakes hard from high speed, over and over until it's really hot, then without stopping, cool them down while driving. 3-5 times should be enough stops to get them hot. Not really stops, just hard braking down to 10-15 mph, then get going again.

I wanted this to work so bad. Spend about two hours doing this whole process....again. Lasted about 3 miles and then guess what, squealing returned on the same one wheel; drivers rear.

I am at my whits end. I don't even want to drive it anymore. I am ready to remove it and return to stock. I am that sick of it after 616 miles.

The squealing started at 300 miles.

Teraflex was no help.

I am a loyal Teraflex customer over many Jeeps and on this current Jeep. I got the impression, that's the way it is or that it was an install error.

Get this. Brakes squeal up to a stop after they are warm. I immediately back up for 5 or 6 feet and drive forward, no squeal until about the 3rd time i use the brakes, then the squeal returns.

Anyone have any idea why service Abs light would come on after the delta bbk swap, including stainless steel lines?

Might check the speed sensors at each wheel. Might have damaged one or it could be as simple as one of the connectors might be slightly pulled a part.

thanks for the response, double checked rhe wires and everything was well. I however used a scanner to delete the codes and it went ABS went away. Bled the car multiple times and pedal is still soft. Using my J Scan, sadly i cant find the ABS bleed procedure. Seems like it doesnt have that feature anymore

The ABS bleed is in the Maintenance section of JSCAN. That's likely your issue. There are many other OBD2 devices that can do the ABS bleed process.

Did you look under Adaptation, Vehicle Maintenance? Still there on my JScan.

Jscan on the iphone forced updated the app, so i am not sure why its not there anymore.
